Influence of successive oxygen saturations of a grape juice, supplemented or not with laccase, on its color and hydroxycinnamic acids concentration

Abstract

Aim: This work studies how successive O2 saturations affects the color and hydroxycinnamic
acids concentration in the absence and presence of laccase from B. cinerea with the aim of better understanding the browning processes.

Materials and methods: Grapes of Muscat of Alexandria were harvested and pressed with a vertical press to extract 60% of their juice. Aliquots of 30 mL of this must were placed in 60 mL flasks equipped with a pill (PreSens Precision Sensing GmbH) for measuring oxygen by luminescence (Nomasense TM O2 Trace Oxygen Analyzer). These flasks were added or not with SO2 (50 mg/L) and with 2 UA/mL of laccase from B. cinerea (Giménez et al., 2022). All operations were carried out with a continuous nitrogen stream to protect the grape juice from air oxygen. The grape juices were then saturated in O2. The flasks were kept at 20±2 °C and O2 was monitored (Diéval et al., 2011). Once O2 was completely consumed, this operation was repeated twice to reach a total of three O2 saturations. Absorbances at 420, 320 and 280 nm were determined in all the samples. Hydroxycinnamic acids and GRP were analyzed by RP-HPLC-DAD-ESI-MS (Lago-Vanzela et al., 2013).

Results and discussion: Samples without SO2 and laccase consumed O2 after the 2st saturation in around 1 hour with an initial O2 consumption rate (OCR) of 0.262±0.009 mg of O2/minute. Surprisingly, no significant differences were found in the OCR of the samples supplemented with laccase in the 1st saturation (0.266±0.075). However, the OCR decreased significantly for the 2nd and 3rd saturations in the case of the samples without laccase (0.128±0.003 and 0.101±0.011 respectively) whereas no significant decrease was observed when laccase was present (0.268±0.013 and 0.238±0.049 respectively). The supplementation with SO2 almost completely inhibited OCR in both cases, without and with laccase (0.006±0.002 and 0.011±0.003 respectively). The A420 nm (yellow color) increased after each saturation and this augmentation was significant higher in the samples supplemented with laccase. In contrast, the A320 nm (hydroxycinnamic acids) and A280 nm (total phenolic compounds) do the opposite. Finally, caftaric and cutaric acids and in a minor extent fertaric acid concentrations decreased after each saturation and this decrease was very similar in the samples supplemented or not with laccase. In contrast, the samples supplemented with SO2 hardly showed changes in the different absorbances or in the hydroxycinnamic acids.

Conclusions:

These results confirm that SO2 is very effective to prevent browning even in the presence of laccase. This data also indicate that the presence of laccase provokes higher browning even consuming the same O2 than without its presence, probably because can use more substrates than natural grape tyrosinase

Discrimination of monovarietal Italian red wines using derivative voltammetry

Identification of specific analytical fingerprints associated to grape variety, origin, or vintage is of great interest for wine producers, regulatory agencies, and consumers. However, assessing such varietal fingerprint is complex, time consuming, and requires expensive analytical techniques. Voltammetry is a fast, cheap, and user-friendly analytical tool that has been used to investigate and measure wine phenolics.

Rootstock regulation of scion phenotypes: the relationship between rootstock parentage and petiole mineral concentration

Grapevine is grown grafted in most of the world largely because of Phylloxera. Rootstocks not only provide tolerance to Phylloxera, but also ensure the supply of water and mineral nutrients to the scion. Rootstocks are an important means of adaptation to environmental conditions if we want to conserve the typical features of the currently used scion genotypes. To aid this adaptation, we can exploit the large diversity of rootstocks used worldwide. To fully explore this existing rootstock diversity, this work benefits from the unique GreffAdapt vineyard, in which four scion genotypes were studied onto 55 commercial rootstocks in three blocks. The aim of this study was to characterise rootstock regulation of scion mineral status and how it relates to scion development.

Development of a standardized method for metabolite analysis by NMR to assess wine authenticity

The wine sector generates a considerable amount of wealth but is facing a growing problem of fraud. Wine counterfeiting is one of the oldest and most common cases of food fraud worldwide. Therefore, the authenticity and traceability of wine are major concerns for both the industry and consumers. To address these issues, robust and reliable analysis and control methods are necessary. Several methods have been developed, ranging from simple organoleptic tests to more advanced methodologies such as isotopic techniques or residual radioactivity measurements.

Impact of winemaking practises on the formation of pinking

The pinking is a phenomenon that can occur in white wine produced with white grape causing the color change from yellow to red-salmon hue. Even if its appearance is highly variable and dependent to the vintage, the wines from certain grape varieties, such as Sauvignon blanc, Chardonnay, Riesling and Trebbiano di Lugana, have been identified to be more susceptible to the pinking.

Étude de la composante climatique du terroir viticole en Val de Loire : relation avec les facteurs physiques du milieu

The research carried out by the URVV of the INRA center in Angers aims to develop a methodology for the integrated characterization of the natural factors of viticultural terroirs, representative of the operating conditions of the vine and the sensory differences of the wines. In this context, the concept of Basic Terroir Unit (UTB) has been developed. The UTB represents a viticultural surface of variable geographical extension, defined as the association in a given place of a geological, pedological and landscape component, Morlat (1989), Riou et al. (1995).
